Liverpool go top of Premier League, Watford and Bournemouth flying high

An early goal from Mohamed Salah and a brace from Sadio Mane helped Liverpool beat Cardiff 4-1 to move to the top of the Premier League.

Salah scored for the third game in a row as he reacted quickest to put his side ahead from close range after 10 minutes at Anfield.

Mane eventually doubled the lead for Liverpool midway through the second half, before Callum Paterson scored to pull Cardiff back to within a goal’s reach after 77 minutes.

However, Xherdan Shaqiri’s first goal for the club gave them breathing space again, and Mane’s 50th Premier League goal — the seventh African player to reach that tally — ensured Jurgen Klopp’s side held on to claim the points.
